I pulled the parachute when it was 7-4 in the 5th inning after more than two hours.

You made it longer than I did. I had it on for background noise while checking Madison’s homework. The 90 pitch 1st inning lasted was all the time I needed.

I had intended to watch the last episode of the Vietnam War series, but I thought the Wild Card games were on Wednesday and Thursday.

How does Phil Cuzzi keep getting playoff assignments?

What happens when you want all four teams in the playoffs to lose?

I think I’m rooting for Houston, Cleveland or Arizona. Cleveland because I want the people of St. Louis to be reminded that Moz pretended to interview Francona for the Cardinals job and Houston because I like Beltran and Arizona because TLR has whatever affiliation he has with that organization.

Same here.  Id throw the nationals in there as well based on the fact that they are not the cubs or dodgers.

I can't root for an American League team. Every year, I start watching the playoffs with the intent of paying equal attention to the American League and by the fifth inning of the Wild Card game I'm watching Shawshank Redemption or Goodfellas or some other movie I've seen a thousand times. I can't root for the Dodgers or the Cubs on principle, I can't root for a team managed by Dusty Baker, and I can't root for a team with Zack Grumpy on it.

So you are rooting against the existence of the world series this year?

I'm still holding out hope for a strike, like in 1994.

Launch angle baseball is painful to watch.  I'm catching up on Animal Planet and ID programs and watching some movies for the 15th time on TCM and Fox movie channel. 
 

I watched Ken Burns' Vietnam documentary on PBS, then finished off Breaking Bad, which I started binge-watching over the summer. And I can go to the gym anytime I want, because the only team I care about right now is the Bruins, and their games are available on the widescreen right there in the fitness center.
